AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0035]In the preview image providing method, the preview image providing apparatus, and the preview image providing program of the present invention, user's needs are estimated from information unique to the user. Then, an image and an object are determined based on the results of estimation, and a preview image of the determined object, which is synthesized with the determined image, is provided. Thereby, preview images of objects having images thereon that users desire are automatically provided. Accordingly, the burden placed on users by the troublesome operations of selecting images and objects, and synthesizing an image of the object with the photographic image to preview the finished product, can be reduced.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the above method, the user must select the desired object and the photographic image to be provided thereon, and also must synthesize are, image of the object with the photographic image to preview the finished product, which is troublesome

Embodiment Construction

[0047]An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0048]FIG. 1 is a block diagram that illustrates the schematic structure of a system that provides objects having images thereon. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the system is constituted by: a preview image providing apparatus 1; a user terminal 2 (order information outputting means); and an order receiving center 3 (order receiving means), which are connected via a network 9 in a communicable state.

[0049]The preview image providing apparatus 1 provides users with preview images of objects having images thereon, in which images and objects which have been determined based on estimation results of the users' needs are pictured. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the preview image providing apparatus 1 is equipped with: a user needs estimating section 10; an image / object determining section 20; a preview image providing section 30; a timing setting section 40, and the like.

[0050]The user terminal ...
